Hello all,

So since i last left a note a few things have happened.

(1) The German Christmas Markets have opened in Birmingham. Great atmosphere for the holiday season.

(2) Went to London for a day (sat.) to meet up with Hollie - Emily's college roommate from Bishops. She has just moved to London herself. It was so nice to see (and hug) someone from home. It made me miss you all even more than i do!!! Did no see much as we just had a good meal and talked.

(3) I have turned another year older... and i thought... well if it going to happen i might as well do it in London!!! So went up for the weekend.

Friday we took the train up after the Timeplan Christmas party in Birmingham. Just crashed at our hostel for the night (Stayed in an area called Earl's Court - thought dad would like that one).

Satudary had an early day with lots seen. Spent some time in Nottinghill - Portobello Road has the most amazing outdoor markets. Everything from food to cloths to jewelery to antquites. And the antques there are OLD especially in comparison to North American Standards.

Check this out:

Then off to see St. Paul's Cathedral. Very imposing.

Crossed the Millenium Bridge next and got a fantastic view of...London Bridge!!!


This is my favourite picture that i took over the weekend.

More to come on part two...
